BBBs time at MFC might be short and sweet but glad he's at our club. Seems like a ripper bloke and a champion on and off the field.

Grundy would be helpful in the ruck, but as you said if they bring in T-Mac for Melk and maybe even Tomlinson for Turner then you've got plenty of options to pinch-hit (with JvR) without changing the structure too much. Granted giving more away vs Cox than Cameron but hopefully finals Viney will retrieve anything no matter who is rucking for both teams.

What's done is done, but found it odd he put a lot of emphasis in what they said he could become positionally, especially as that seems to echo what we said when we drafted him?

"TEST" - i am being TESTED right now.

With concerns over injuries (Brown/Tmac) and long-term futures (Grundy) a 1 year deal seems reasonable to me.

Good seeing everyone snapping up seats. Still feels weird to me that the last finals win that a lot of us would have seen in person had the following players running around Jetta, OMac, Lewis, Frost, Hannan, Weideman, AVB, Jonesy, Tyson.
Only Unreserved and Standing room tickets available in MCC on a walk up basis for members, MCC comment section furious people were allowed Visitor tickets
MCC Ticket acquired - Spent far too long in the ticketek lounge and by the time I got out the portion of seats available on Level 1 & 2 were gone. Thursday night means i'll struggle to get there early for for a good walk up or level 3 seat so I am up on Level 4 for the first time in a while, but I will be there, Go Dees.
Real devastated for Melk. Missed out on 2021 and has been in and out of the team, riding a redemption arc which has ended in such a cruel and abrupt manner. There's always stories of blokes being unlucky around finals, but this is a sad way for the Melk to go out. If we do have success a large part of it will be because of him. Part of this is why I think the AFL should have Gold AFL Premiership Medals (For the 23) and a Silver Equivalent (squad Players/those not in 23).
Out - Harmes? Jordon? Dunstan? In - Parish?
Last year I thought there should be more Dees in the side but i didn't vote so i didn't complain This year thought there should be more Dees in it but i didnt vote so I can't complain. See you all next year for more of the same.
Not sure if its cost of living crisis but thought it sold out much sooner in 2021 and 2022. But found it a little surprising theyre still available given we're up and about and for most of us, the only success we've seen we had to witness in lockdown on our tv.
What makes matters worse is the interchange "blunder" which cost North Melbourne a likely win against the Swans earlier in the year. What a beautiful mistake for them. Tell you what though, Swans probably sitting 8 points higher than they should morally with this and the crows goal.
Just saw a post from MFC still advertising the Grand Final Guarantee, has our form been that shaky that these are still available with one round to go?
How is Riak Andrew looking for a Cat B spot?
We've been a bit unlucky with injuries for the taller forward options. Injuries haven't really been spread out too much in the squad. Some trading/drafting to help this in 2024 and another pre-season in options like Jeffo and Sestan will help. Its funny myself and a few others at the start of the season were posting about nursing Melksham to 100 games with us but he has been an important player this season.
Chuck these 3 in as well Macca Sat 5am - Leeds vs West Brom 11:30pm - Bayern Leverkusen vs RB Leipzig Monday 5:30am - Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid
Was sort of inevitable after Germany and USA were knocked out. No shame losing to England and to think they were missing 3 of the starting 11 from the euros final win due to ACL injuries.
Not that we need him, but every time we play Port I get real annoyed that Sam Powell-Pepper always plays a good game and is physical as well. I would prefer he did not do this against the Demons, so if this stops it so be it aha
Yes exactly, it is pleasing to see the gap closing between the US and other countries. Think it was shambolic that it took Manchester United until 2018 to establish a Women's team. Back to the USA, they hosted in 1999 (and won) and 2003 and I think this had a huge impact on the 'golden generation' which won 2015 and 2019. Not sure how much further the Matildas will go in this tournament but i think its legacy here will be that the tournament inspired many young girls to play the game and hopefully push the sport further here. Keen for the Matildas/Demons bonanza!
Curious to see what his movement is like post surgery in case that was hindering him.
What do you reckon the plan is with Tmac? Given Petty out for the season, How many weeks in the 2s? Or does it depends how a possible Grundy re-integration goes
